Despite the spoilers helping U.S. fans to brace for it, the death of Sybil Branson on tonight's "Downton Abbey" was still absolutely heartwrenching.

obhave mentioned this a few months ago. The Dowager (Maggie Smith) grieving as she limped across the entry hall the morning after was some major acting. Poor Tom, crushed, is left alone with a newborn baby girl and barred from going back to Ireland. Even Thomas was sad, and he's a heartless weasel bastid.

If only Lord Grantham had listened to Dr. Clarkson instead of the toff Sir Wanker Topsoil or whatever the hell his name was!

If only Jessica Brown Findlay had not become so famous to warrant jumping to Hollywood and making them kill off her character!

Spoiler:

Even though I knew they wouldn't get rid of Maggie Smith yet, I really thought she was going to have a heart attack or collapse when she was walking across the hall. Although I saw it coming from the beginning of the episode, it was still a tough one to get through. IMO this is easily the best season yet, aside from Sybil dying, I found myself laughing a lot last night. The humor has been great this season.

I've seen the entire season (through the holiday special that aired Christmas Day in the UK) and it gets even better.

Letang Is The Truth wrote:did anyone watch american horror story finale?

Watching that tonight. So please post spoilers if you are going to talk about it!

Finally got to watch this:

Spoiler:

I thought the ending was ok. The part with Lana and her son was great. Also the St. Jude story was good. Two things:

1) Wish they would have closed up the alien line better, but I read where the director wanted to leave that one open ended.

2) Just from the ending, my impression was that Lana was truly the evil one. There were two things that stuck out to me, right before she pulls the trigger to kill her boy, she says something like "I have no issues killing" or something like that and then blows his head off. And then in the flashback at the very end, St. Jude says to her that when "evil stares you in the face, expect evil to stare back" and Lana says something like "I know". Thoughts?

American Horror Story Asylum finale spoiler

Spoiler:

A lot of this might not make sense if you didn't see most of the season, but the big moments in the finale were:

Out of the asylum, investigative journalist Lana is now old and apparently became a Barbara Walters/Diane Sawyer type of reporter. She is giving an interview talking about her life post asylum and her son, Bloodyface Jr. is on the film crew (but no one knows who he is).

In flashbacks, we see: Lana breaks the story of the corruption/torture/etc. at the asylum. The priest, now a Cardinal, commits suicide.

Kit takes the head nurse (Jessica Lange, can't think of her character name) out of the asylum and cares for her until she dies from lung cancer or something like it.

At the end of the interview, everyone leaves but Bloodyface Jr. stays behind to confront his mom. She knows he's there and knew all along who he was. They have a heart to heart and at the very end, she shoots and kills him.

There's a flashback to Lange telling Lana that when you look into the face of evil, evil looks into you. Very Nietzsche-esque.

I saw 1 photo on FB. Mrs Hughes looked lovely in her royal blue. good for them. I can watch the repeats and still enjoy.
